@lemmy.worldIf you plan to move to another service, there exists a number of tools to aid in moving playlists between streamers. It is really easy, once you find a good one.
Helped me break the feeling of being locked in due to have 100s of playlists.
I disagree. I hate carrying any coins, while dollars of any denomination fit nicely in my wallet.
I have a hunch that if we were to swap to these instead of paper dollars for $1, prices would go up simply because retailers would you d everything up to the nearest $5 increment.
Everything that is ad-supported.
Media funded by ads has a different objective than other media. I simply reject advertising in total.
You can blame the bot for decreased ad revenue all you’d like but it’s malarkey.
Websites have poisoned the well, so to say. It is simply not smart to browse these sites without ad blockers. Constant popups, cookie banners with 100s of toggles, flashing ads for random junk, and so on were driven by greed originally and are now driven by survival. If the greed could have subsided just a bit and website owners not tried to make all the money, people wouldn’t need to use tldr bots or adblockers.
Sorry not sorry, fuck your ad supported content.
I’m not the OP, but when Spotify added these is made the user experience worse.
I used Spotify for music and only music. So seeing a row or two of podcasts inserted before music was really annoying. Getting podcast recommendations was also annoying. If they would have let me just opt out of seeing podcasts, there would not have been any issues. But they didn’t.
I don’t use Spotify anymore.
I could would suggest you take a voyage around the App Store for Lemmy apps. I won’t name any. But there are many good ones.
